Chapter 332 Is it murder?

Empress Dowager Lu's voice was very serious. She didn't need to say much, but Zhao Su had already felt the pain of separation from life and death.

"Anyway, her death changed a lot of things." After taking a breath, Empress Dowager Lu said again, "In addition to the psychological pain caused to their brother and sister, the Huayuehui and the court."

"Court Bureau?"

"That's right." Empress Dowager Lu straightened her body and set off a conversation. "Since you have seen the historical facts until the late emperor ascended the throne, you should also know that the ancestors of the Lu family were originally royal families, but their blood ties with the royal family in the dynasty were weak and the kings of the previous dynasty were incompetent and violent, so the late emperor raised an army to resist."

Zhao Su nodded: "I know. Although the book only briefly explains this background, the princess was still young and didn't write much about it when the late emperor reigned, but the author still gave her a smart character."

"What you see is the plot with me and the late emperor as the protagonist. In this real world, Zhaoyang can also be called the protagonist in her world, even if it is not a strong female writer. She and men generally share a lot of entrepreneurship for the late emperor, and when they were not on the battlefield, they also took care of my children. At that time, I regarded her as a biological girl, and in the idea of ​​trying to change the situation of women, I regarded her as an alliance."

Speaking of this, she stopped and looked at Zhao Su: "That's right. Before you came, I was looking for allies, and I especially needed such a group of allies. At that time, there was no more suitable candidate than Zhaoyang. She had the identity of the eldest princess and a broad and kind heart. With my cooperation with her, she would definitely create an excellent situation.

"For this reason, when I knew that she had the idea of ​​making achievements, I strongly supported her. In addition to being the person we are most at ease, I also hope that she can set an example for women in the world. I hope that from her, Daliang can allow women to become officials.

"Even if you can't enter the imperial examination, it would be good to give women the opportunity to enter the military camp from now on. She and I firmly believe that Hua Yue will have a princess with great achievements as an example, which will definitely bring excellent results.

"To be honest, in our words, I actually asked her to gilt the battle in Guangxi. Let her draw a perfect end to her battle career, be a glorious title when she returned to the court, and then give a good start for our next plan. However, her sacrifice interrupted all this."

"What a coincidence?"

Who can say that Empress Dowager Lu’s plan is not reasonable, but this makes the eldest princess’ death even more unsatisfied.

"Who said no?" Empress Dowager Lu looked at her, "She is gone, the only princess in Daliang is gone, and the only female general is gone, let alone the title that has been planned. This is the loss of the country, and for me, all the ideas have been interrupted."

This situation is simply not difficult to imagine. Where would the aristocratic ethics give in to Empress Dowager Lu if he loses the eldest princess as a benchmark figure in feminism?

Zhao Su suddenly thought about why Hua Yuehui was still struggling to survive in the cracks over the past twenty years, and also understood more clearly why Empress Dowager Lu was so anxious to ask her to participate in the Hua Yuehui.

If the eldest princess was still there, how could this be the situation?

She suddenly thought: "This time is so coincidental. Did the Empress Dowager not go to check it out later?"

This is a plot that goes beyond the scope of the original work, but according to the laws of the novel, there must be a demon when something abnormal happens. The existence of the eldest princess is so critical that the losses caused by her death directly affect the Chaogang, which is difficult for people not to think about it.

"I can't accept this result at all, why don't I check it?" Empress Dowager Lu's eyebrows were deep, "but she was indeed dead, dead under swords and guns. My confidant sent by the late emperor, Han Jun's father, and I carefully recorded her wounds. It was indeed wounded by the enemy's weapons, so I could only accept this result in the end."

Zhao Su still couldn't understand why the timing of death was so coincidental?

If the eldest princess died of murder, the matter would become serious. The murderer must have attempted to destroy something and then came up with this plan.

"I have told you so much because this incident has always been a knot in my heart." Empress Dowager Lu's eyes were bright, "So many years have passed, and when the incident happened, Old Weiyuan Hou was present again, so there was no doubt about this matter. However, Zhao Yun's armor was stolen recently, and the other party had no follow-up actions, which aroused my heart disease again."

Zhao Su reacted: "So the Queen Mother wants to re-invest this case?"

"I am not sure at the moment. Once the investigation is launched, it will definitely cause a storm. It is our unilateral idea to say that we want to investigate, so we can only look for opportunities at the moment, and it is not advisable to disclose it."

Zhao Su nodded: "Do you need to tell Weiyuanhou and Princess?"

Empress Dowager Lu stood up with anger: "It's no good to tell them for now. If they had doubts, they should have started to investigate a long time ago. Without doubts, then if they were not suspected, they would have just cut their wounds open again without evidence."

After hearing this, Zhao Su felt convinced. "Maybe Weiyuan Hou will find something with the case of Canjia, and it will not be too late to make a decision with him then."

Empress Dowager Lu has no objection.

Zhao Su sat for a while and then said goodbye.

When I walked to the door, I remembered: "According to what the Empress Dowager said just now, since the eldest princess's sacrifice, the voices of supporting equal rights have become weaker, and there is something that should not be done."

"What's the matter?"

"Today in the theater club, the spectators argued about whether the eldest princess should be awarded a title. Some of them spoke out for the eldest princess. Those remarks were completely from the perspective of the eldest princess, or from the perspective of a woman."

Zhao Su said again what Yun Xiangyi and the others said when they came back.

"Is there such a person?"

Empress Dowager Lu frowned. "This shouldn't be true. Even when something happened, no one had ever argued about it."

"Did the Queen Mother really think about a title for the eldest princess back then?"

Zhao Su walked back.

"Of course. If she is granted a title and set a precedent, then it will be no problem for women to be officials and generals in the future!"

"Then why did she not receive this hereditary title after her sacrifice?"

"Because the dead can't speak!" A hint of excitement emerged between the eyes of Empress Dowager Lu, "If she is alive, I will win him the same treatment as other nobles! But she is dead, and she can no longer speak for herself, and it is no longer valuable to some people! Moreover, the prince-consort has been granted a marquis, and this marquis is hereditary. The gentry opposed posthumous titles on this ground. In the end, we can only pick out a loyal and brave posthumous title from the gentry's mouths to her!"

Anger burst out in her eyes. Even though most of the anger was hindered by the implementation of policies, the focus of the anger was the eldest princess.

Zhao Su could fully understand her mood.

However, isn’t it even stranger to have the saying of the men in the drama club today when even her founding queen was unable to change the world, and could there be such a saying by the men in today’s drama club?

Why did that person empathize with the eldest princess so much?

If the cause of the eldest princess' death is different, then is this person related to this matter?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but walk out as she said: "I'll leave the palace first to do something!"
